I am Fei Li, a hat maker, currently. I spend my whole freshman year in hat making. I’d like to give the hat a function other than as a decorative item, not just limited to the head. In terms of materials I like to experiment with different materials and explore new fabrics.

Its has to be a hat? The hat should not be confined to the head only. This hat comprises three parts, a hood and two interchangeable ornaments. When these two ornaments are removed from the hat they are turned into sculptures or candles.

Ophelia made a wreath of flowers and attempted to hang it on the branches of the willow. While doing so, she slipped and fell into the brook.

I really need this hat when I run into someone I don't like. The letters come with velcro on the back and can be glued back inside the hat to become a regular hat. You can just put the words down when you meet someone you dislike. Of course, it can also become to I JUST LIKE YOU.

As I stood at the edge of the lake, the lake breeze blew toward me. I caught the shape of the wind.
I am always exploring different uses and forms of hats, and I enjoy the process of making them.
